I'm an aspiring animator, 21 years old and studying in Kingston upon Thames in London and love to travel and meet new and exciting people and explore new places. This summer I will be travelling through Europe with my girlfriend and would love to get a real experience of the cities we'll be travelling in by meeting locals and sharing our cultures and experiences. I love everything to do with art, music and history and hope to share these interests with anyone I meet on my travels!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking for places to stay in Europe for myself and my girlfriend. We are both very outgoing, chatty and will cook dinner/give you drawings/write you love songs to thank you for your hospitality.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I travelled through South America in 2015 for 6 months, the highlight of the trip being looking after a jaguar called Ru for 5 weeks on a conservation area in Bolivia.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have many talents and interests, and always love to share these with people. I am an animator so am constantly drawing my surroundings and the contents of my imagination and I would happily draw something for anyone I stay with or meet, I am a musician (guitar, bass guitar, drums) and would love to jam with anyone who also plays, and I love to watch and discuss films, books, history and much more!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will be an entertaining guest and can offer my services as a cook, musician, artist and conversationalist. I want to learn and share in different cultures and perspectives, I can help people with their English and Spanish and would also love to learn some of my hosts languages as well!
